Um...I'm still to young. ^^;;;
Sorry.

Hmm. I've got an older edition of Kreyszig (7th), but that was from long ago. This semester I only bought one book, which is for a course I'm sitting in on: "Chebyshev and Fourier Spectral Methods" by Boyd. If you want me to list all of the textbooks I've got, I'm afraid it's going to be a long list. Out of curiosity how good of a book is Sedra & Smith? I've been told it's better than Jaeger (which wouldn't be hard), but have never used it.

In College I heard you have to do a LOT of reading! -.-;;;
Well I know for future reference now I suppose. T.T

That's understandable! ^^;;;
When I was in private school I had practically three thousand books to carry in my backpack for homework. it was ridiculous! But now since I am homeschooled I can sit down and do my subjects. Even though I still may have homework its not nearly as bad as it could be. ^^;;;

Dang. I saw Geometry. That is the worst subject from what I hear. I think I've heard that it's even worse than Algebra which my brother has been doing and my other brother has just been starting Pre-Algebra so, yeah, I have some real goodies coming up for me in the future. >.<

Sedra & Smith is okay... probably better than okay... but with some issues, it just skips over them (unfortunately most textbooks do this in places). My favourite out of that stack is probably Lathi.

There's nothing wrong with geometry... The only parts of questions in electromagnetics I can do are the geometry ones! (then I get stuck and move to the next question.)
